. To all rfi/mm it may concern drawn into drinking cup at will.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional and side elevation of a complete water service, ready for use and made in accordance with the principles of my invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal'sectional detail on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional detail on the same plan as Figure 1, and showing a modiiied construction of the gasket and closure.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional detail on the same plans as Figures 1 and 3, and showing a modified construction ofthe bottle closure. the vclosure in Figure 1 being porcelain or the like, the closure in Figure 3 being cast brass or the like7 and the closure in Figure 4 beingl sheet metal.

Referring to the drawings in detail:

The water container is a glass bottle, (1) of the usual form and construction and has a mouth (2) leading through a mouth portion (3) having a tapered outer fac-e (4) and an edge (5). The soft rubber gasket (6) its tightly upon the face (4) and against the edge (5) and has an opening (7) in line with the opening (2).

The closure (8) is made of porcelain or the like and consists of a socket (9) having an inner bevelled face (10) fitting tightly against the gasket (6) in opposition to the face (4) and a shoulder (11) pressing the gasket (6) against the edge (5) and a capshaped head (12) forming a chamber (13) extending downwardly from the shoulder (11) and includes a straight annular wall (14). The spigot (15) is fixed through the wall (14) and leads from the chamber (13). The vent pipe (16) is fixed through the annular wall (14) and extends through the 4gasket (34) tits upon the shoulder (35) chamber (13), through the (mening through the mouth (2) and through the chamber (17) oit .the bottle (1)1totl'ieair` space (18).- 'so that as the water drawn out through the spigot (15), air will pass through the vent pipe (16) to-.theairspace (18) to relieve the vacuum, and of course the air space will enlarge as the water is drawn out. f l

The table (19) may he any suitable flat topped support. rllhe stand (20) rests upon .the table (19). and supports the bottle (1).

The shelt (21) is flat and has a circularv out edge (22) extending through more than twothirds oi? a' circle and has a cut-away portion (23) between the ends oi the circular edge (22). The legsy(24 '-25 and 26) are evenly spaced apart against the edge (22) and secured in place by screws (27), the tablev (21) being near the lower ends of the legs7 and a spring hoop (28) isf-placed .around the legs near their upper ends and secured by nails or screws (29) land the end nfaces (30) oithe legs are bevelled inwardly to t the bevelled shoulders (31) of the bottle (1). When the capl (12) is upon the table (21) the shoulder (31) is upon the'taces (30). rThe hoop (28) will spring more or less to allow sufficient weight to press the closure (8) against the mouth piece (3) and hold the water.

The bottle (l) is brought'in right side up, the cork removed. the closure (8) applied, and the whole is placed in position upon the stand (20) withthe spigot (15), in

line with the cut-away place (23) so that the' cup may be placed `under the spigot.

The water service thus constructed is cheap and simple and at the same time effective and satisfactory.

In the modification shown in Figure 3 the closure (33) is cast brass or the like and the only.

In the modification-.shown in Figure 4, the closure (36) is ot sheet metal and the gasket (34) may be used as shown or the gasket (6) may be used. y

Various changes may `be made without departing from the spirit of my invention as claimed.

I claim as my invention:

1. A water service comprising a table, yielding legs supporting the table and extending upwardly roi'n the table and havtie will lit the closure and hearing faces, withv the vent pipe extending inte the bottle;

2. A Water service comprising a table, yielding legs supporting the table and e5;- tending upwardly from the table and having bearing4 faces at their upper ends7 said table being near the lower ends ofthe legs, spring hoop secured around the legs near their upper ends, and a elesure resting upen the table and having a spigotend Vent @pipa S0 that when a yWater bottle is applied the hearing?,` faces will yield to allow the bottle to fit the closure.

'8. A Water service comprising `a circulaitable having a eut-away portion extending from the circular edge. legs 'evenly spaced apart, and having' their lower portions se- Cured against the edge of the tahle,.a spring hoop secured around the legs near their upper ends, and a Closure resting upon the table and having a spigot in line with the out away portion, and havinga .vent pipe, so that a Water bottle may he brought iii right side up and the service applied and' EUGENE APPEL.
